Stewart, you see, was trying to overcome his more juvenile self -- which wanted to accuse GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann's husband, Marcus, of hypocritically being gay as he tried to "pray the gay" out of people.

As evidence, Stewart played a clip of Marcus Bachmann swing-dancing with Michele and also a clip of his slightly lispy voice.

But Seinfeld was there to help Stewart avoid the juvenile line of humor and hoped to counsel him toward more high-minded jokes, such as mocking Bachmann's name.
